I think the North American Common Law has been taken from ancient Roman Laws.
True
Some of the early strengths of ancient Rome was its citizen military. Land owners in ancient Rome were recruited into the legions for the purpose of defending Rome. A citizen army has a large stake in the outcomes of battles and wars as their own families and their property were at stake. Another strength was ancient Rome's legal system. It made the Roman laws fair by having many of the key laws in writing. This made enforcing the laws by judges less subjective as unlike before all Romans could read the laws.

Some of our laws are based upon ancient Roman legal concepts, such as the right of a trial, the right to own property, the right to have a will, etc., but they are not the same as our present day laws cover different concerns than the ancient ones.None.

During the Monarchy the king made the laws. At the beginning of the Republic legislation was proposed by the consuls and voted on by the assemblies. The lex Canuleia of 445 BC marked the beginning of the issuing of laws by the tribunes of the plebeians, who eventually issued most of the laws. In 287 BC, plebiscites, deliberations of the plebeian council, were given the force of law and were applicable to the whole of the Roman people (populus). Initially, these applied only to the plebeians. Praetors, who were like chief justices, could issue edicts to amend laws so as correct and supplement them. Over time,the amendments effectively became like new laws and they created a praetoric body of law parallel to civil law. Eventually, the two were fused into the famous Corpus Juris Civilis. The Senate passed decrees called senatus consulta, as "advice" to a magistrate which did not have legal force, but were usually followed. A law passed by an assembly overrode the senate's consultum if it conflicted with it because the latter's authority was based on precedent and not on law. With the empire, the power of the assemblies was transferred to the senate and the senatus consulta acquired the force of law. The emperor was also a law maker. As the Romans started to apply scientific methods of juridical matters, the treatises of professional jurists became very influential.
The Twelve Tables are ancient Roman laws that made public certain basic rights.
The dome, arch, paved roads, the arena, government, laws, cement, are all out of ancient Rome.

The Roman contribution to laws are that they founded the basis for our laws. The Romans crafted the Twelve Tables which hold the foundations for law systems. These laws promoted equal treatment, presumption of innocence, and fairness. Their laws covered inheritance, marriage, and courtroom procedures.
The codification of laws were set forth into the Twelve Tables. This example of justice showed how important an individual was before the law. So, the concept of government by laws.
